OBITUARY

William C. Herwick was born in Jackson County, Kansas on June 5, 1879. He came to Colorado with his parents and an older sister when he was a year old. They came from Kansas in a covered wagon as far as what is now Salida. From there they packed the two children on a donkey, one in a lidless trunk, and the other in a boot box. Their mother led the donkey while the father drove the team and wagon. They traveled down the Eagle River and settled on a ranch now called Avon. He grew to manhood there and followed the life of a cowboy and rancher until he was 28 years old. On October 31, 1907, he and Jennie Stewart were married at Glenwood Springs, Colo. They moved to Meredith and lived there two years. To this union was born three children, a son, Stanley, in Meredith, and a son, Lorain and a daughter Ruby in Aspen where they moved and have lived until his passing.
